Drawing us in with a charming, country-pop soundscape with twanging guitars and textured drums, LaCosta Tucker opens Woman Behind the Wheel with poetic prowess and situational prose as she shares a heartfelt message celebrating the quiet strength of women everywhere.
With fourteen Billboard-charting singles under her belt and a legacy intertwined with country royalty, we had a feeling that we would be in for a timeless journey with LaCosta Tucker. The instrumentation is masterful as she proves that her voice and storytelling spirit remain evergreen.
We learn that the track is produced by Roger Ball and written by Cathy Majeski, Stephony E. Smith, and Sunny Russ. There is no doubt that the song carries a deep rooted authenticity that mirrors the talented LaCosta’s own journey and relationship with feminism.
In essence, it’s about women who keep life in motion – the mothers, daughters and grandmothers who hold it all together. LaCosta assertively proclaims, “Women always step up to the plate. Their strength and determination are what hold families together.”
LaCosta’s vocal delivery is tender yet wholly resolute. There’s a confidence that comes from a life fully lived, from the early days of Get On My Love Train to now, she sings with experience and nuanced empathy. You can feel the years of touring, the stories told and the lessons learned in her tone. Sonically, Woman Behind the Wheel is pure Nashville, yet holds a cinematic allure – perfect for a sequel to Legally Blonde, or even the upcoming namesake TV show!
“I’m not a stranger to anyone,” LaCosta says. “I’m just a friend you haven’t met yet.” We love the authenticity that she exudes, and have added Woman Behind the Wheel to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of LaCosta Tucker, and anticipate future releases!
